"An absolutely wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was perfect, from the delicious homemade meals to the stunning mountain views. The genuine hospitality of Aurora, Eleana, and their family made our first trip to Albania even more special. We couldn’t recommend this place enough; do not hesitate to book! ❤️"

Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Litan hotel. Booked a room with balcony and sea view, had a fantastic sea views especially during sunset hours. Very clean rooms and pretty new built. Staffs were amazing and friendly. I wanted to tell people to try lunch and dinner menus as well. However, breakfast could feel like a routine but that’s how it would be in all the hotels if you’re staying for 4-5 days."
